Life Putty - Life Is What You Shape It

Life Putty - February 2008

More often than not, the importance is in the detail. It is these details that vary from indivdual to indivdual that are so fascinating. What is obvious (the TALL man, the STERN lady etc etc) is boring. It's the blueprint that's fun.

My blueprint?

I LIKE:
getting handwritten letters in the mail**old couples in deep conversation**getting back into bed after my morning shower**driving with the window down**curling up inside when it's pouring outside**the smell of sparklers after they have gone out**winning solitaire and watching the cards all streaming down**waking up in the night only to realise you still have hours left of sleep until you have to get up.




I DISLIKE:
sandwich makers who are stingy with avacado**arrogance**when ice-cubes taste like the freezer**the urge i have to bite off hanging fingernails (if that's what they're called) even though the consequences are inevitably painful**nickleback**birds flying into glass



People often talk about themselves in an explainatory way, but it doesn't really give anysort of insight to them. When it comes to what makes you you, perhaps for a change you should sweat the small stuff!

I'd be intreseted in having a snapshot of anyone else's 'blueprint'?!?

I braved up and handed in my resignation last week. Although my actual letter was pretty stock standard, I sincerely hope my boss read between the lines.

Dear Bob,

I have been living on my own for just over 2 years. This set-up began when I started uni, so at the forefront of my concerns was to find somewhere cheap. First I started my hunt for a potential housemate- basic maths: as tenants increase, rent decreases. So I set up an account on a house-mate finding website, which turns out to be some weird hybrid of an online dating service.... just with more scope for stalkers and the tiring weeding out of freaks. The first candidate I met up with was a 'recovering' psychotic. He was openly paranoid that people were trying to switch his meds with brain-washing tablets. Of the endless stream of social misfits directed my way by the website, he was probably the front-runner. There was also the goth/emo who collected barbies, but gothed them up then displayed them side-by-side in her loungeroom come goth-hate-barbie-shrine. Then there was the alternative, vegan, red-Birkenstock wearing and aggressively pessimistic politics student.... who, as it turned out, was actually reared with a silver spoon up his arse and drove his father's BMW. The others, for the sake of my psychological welfare, I've forgotten about completely. Needless to say, I ended up opting to live solo.
I found a cheap place in a nice area. It was one of 6 in a relatively dingy block of flats.I was soon well acquainted with the catch-22 of cheap rent.... My neighbours.

My expections after finishing uni were pretty much on par with Little Foot's expectations of The Great Valley in The Land Before Time. However, Little Foot got there fairly easily.... That sadistic t-rex was nothing compared to that crap I'm enduring as Phone Answerer/Dishwasher/Shit-kicker Extraordinaire.
Sitting at my desk, over-hearing conversations which essentially amount to 'my penis is bigger than yours' , I am inspired to create a blog.
